Gluten Free Friday ~ Camping Gluten Free

 Recently, I was asked to share my “emotional transition” story in having to adjust to a gluten free diet.  What’s funny is that I had to share that I  had a difficult time relating to those who were having an emotional transition, since I was just so relieved to discover that my son’s (the first… Read More Gluten Free Friday ~ Camping Gluten Free

And Then the Kids Came to Maine…

After Robert and I enjoyed 4 nights in Acadia and Bar Harbor, Maine, our friend, Lois, drove the kids up to meet us in Ogunquit.  I think we’ve spent time in Ogunquit, ME nearly every one of the 12 summers we’ve lived in Massachusetts ~ again, thanks to a very special couple and the studio… Read More And Then the Kids Came to Maine…

 Even though we’ve lived in New England for nearly 12 years now, we still act like tourists much of the time.  One reason for this, I believe, is the 25+ years we spent living in a state that you could hardly even get out of in seven hours.  I just did a little research and… Read More 4 States in 7 Hours = A Fun Weekend Getaway

Man, who is born of woman, is short-lived and full of turmoil.  Like a flower he comes forth and withers.  He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.  Job 14: 1-2 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and its leaf… Read More Sustained in the Extremes

While all of my Massachusetts friends are braving their second snowstorm in two weeks, the Krum fam is enjoying their final, beautiful, sunny, 65 degree day in Texas.  Hopefully the snow and ice up north will subside in time for us to land in Newark and Hartford uneventfully.  At least our seats are all together… Read More Texas, Texas ~ Yee Haw!
